“Wasting A Soul Torments Eternally! (W.A.S.T.E)

By Ramesh C.Reddy
Pittsburgh Standard


May 13, 2009

Editors Note: The devotional has a background song by called which can be heard if you use Internet Explorer.

SCRIPTURE:
"The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over." (Mark 8:8, NIV)

Observation:
I asked myself what happened after 'the people ate and were satisfied'?
Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Interpretation:
I asked myself the significance of the disciples actions?
When Jesus fed the 4000 men, Jesus wanted to make sure that none of the food went to waste so Jesus had His disciples collect them. When the disciples collected the food, seven basketfuls of broken pieces of BREAD and FISH remained. Wow! Jesus could have produced as much as He wanted and yet Jesus set a principle of not wasting things.

Implications:
I saw important implications for my own life here. Here Jesus was showing me the importance of not wasting food at all. Here Jesus was showing me that even a broken piece of bread or fish should not be left to waste.

HOW THE GOSPEL GIVES ME A TESTIMONY REGARDING W.A.S.T.E

In the Gospel, we see that Jesus was not about wasting anything and Jesus reminds me to eat the food set before me without wasting the food. Jesus reminds me not to waste my money or time. Jesus reminds me not to waste my life away. The principle of not wasting goes beyond just food. Because of that, Jesus has motivated me to keep a journal to see how I am spending each hour of my day. More than anything, I was reminded it is a waste of my life without Jesus Christ in my life. I can gain the whole world and what's the point if I lose my soul. My entire life will be a waste without Christ leading the way and I came to know the only thing that should be wasted is sin. Verses pertaining to waste address different categories of waste.

"For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah." (1 Kings 17:14-16, KJV)

"He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster." (Proverbs 18:9, KJV)

"And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living." (Luke 15:13, KJV)

"And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods." (Luke 16:1, NIV)

"For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:" (Galatians 1:13, KJV)

I ask you now dear friend, what should you W.A.S.T.E in life?
Dear friend, there are so many things in our daily life we should not waste such as food, our time, our relationships, our money, our mind, etc. They all need to be used for the Lord's honor and glory. When Jesus finished feeding the 4000, Jesus did not leave the broken pieces of bread or fish there but had His disciples collect them because Jesus was not about waste. Jesus was setting an example and principle so we can live by it too.

But there is an area of our lives, we can and should waste everyday. I am talking about sin. Sin is something we can waste away from our lives. Our lives need not be filled with sin. But no matter how much we want to waste away sin, we will not be able to on our own.

You see friend, our heart is deceitful and we cannot know it. Even when we think we are doing good, we really are not doing good because we have ulterior motives without Christ in our lives. Only our focus on Christ should motivate us to do things. That is the true motivation and will bring lasting results.

You need to waste the things of your life that are coming between you and the Lord Jesus Christ whatever it maybe. It is not worth gaining the accolades of this world and losing our soul and letting it waste away.

"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done." (Matthew 16:25-27, NIV)

No friend, the only thing that should be wasted everyday is sin. Sin should be thrown in the dumpster every day and every afternoon and every night. Yes, friend. But, you and I need the help of the One who went to the cross, so all our sin can be dumped upon Him. That's what Jesus did so you and I can waste sin away.

Jesus took all our filth, yuckiness, shame, etc relieving us of our load. He sanitized us with His precious cleansing blood so you and I can be new again. We don't have to live in sin and its bondage. We can be free and it is all because of what Jesus Christ did for you.

Friend, are you wasting your life away in sin?

It is not too late whatever you have done to change around. No, friend it is not.

The enemy will come like a flood but Jesus wants to cover you in His blood.
When the enemy will strike, remember you Jesus does like.
When the enemy puts you in shame, Jesus wants to give you a new aim

Come to Jesus as you are so Jesus can lead you and guide you His Way each and every day! For your sin, He came to pay as He on the cross lay.

When you give your life to Christ and receive His free gift of grace, you will victoriously run life's race for Jesus will become your Ultimate Ace.

Once you let Jesus handle the sin areas of your life, all other waste will also come to an end.

Remember, just as we have to relieve the body of our waste, we need to relieve our soul of the sin each and every day. When you realize you have succumbed to waste again, no need to have shame and fear for Christ is here and near to give you a new aim.

Daily go to the Lord in confession and repentance knowing He is loving and just, and He will forgive all your sins and cleanse you from all your unrighteousness

May you know a life lived with the Lord is never a life that is gone to waste! Amen!

"Wasting A Soul Torments Eternally!" (W.A.S.T.E)/""What should you W.A.S.T.E in life?"

Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, thank you so much that you did not let the food go to waste. After feeding the crowds there, you had your disciples pick up the leftovers and when they picked it up, there were 7 basketfuls of broken pieces left over. I am thinking it was not only bread but also fish. Thanks so much Jesus for setting an example for me. Help me not to waste my time, money, relationships, food, and especially my life living for you. Help me only to waste sin away. Thank you so much Jesus. Hear our prayers and answer us Oh Lord. I pray for the one who is struggling right now. You know what they are going through. Please meet them where they are at Oh Lord and touch their soul. Thanks so much Jesus! Thank you for hearing us and answering our prayers. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

 May you experience the POWER OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION this day, and give Him the LOCKED areas of your life too so you can experience His PEACE as you become an ACTOR in the film called LIFE being directed by your DIRECTOR, JESUS CHRIST who comes to give JOY and PEACE.

You don't have to be locked away anymore for Christ is here to free you and give you peace to live out your actions.

How do you look at GODISNOWHERE?

One of my pastors, Pastor Hugo shared this example this past Sunday at the RESURRECTION DAY SERVICE in the combined worship service of Pittsburgh Chinese Church-Oakland & Oakland International Fellowship:

If you look at it as GOD IS NO WHERE, you will still be lost in your sin and be in bondage locked away in your sins and problems finding no peace.

But  as my pastor spoke to the congregation and spoke to me, I am here to tell you that GOD IS NOW HERE.

Yes, friend God is alive and wants to bring a transformation in your life through the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ for He paid the penalty on the cross to rescue you and me and came back to life to save us and live with us.

Yes, friend that is exciting to know that we can experience HIS SAVING GRACE & LIVING GRACE.

When we mess up, we can go to Jesus with our shortcomings and He will forgive us and restore us to Him and we will find peace in Him.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (Colossians 5:17-21, NIV)

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23, NIV)

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:7-9, NIV)

Friend, we need Jesus because we have been separated from God due to our sin. Because of our sin, Jesus had to pay the price to become our bridge so we can reach God now not of our own good works but because of the finished work of Christ, the Lord on the cross.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV)

May you come to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Savior becoming His offspring so you can spend Eternity with Him. He is waiting for you. Come as you are. Please do not reject the gift of God.

If you would like to invite Jesus Christ into your heart and make Him a daily part of your life, you can this very moment. You will never be alone. You can claim God's promises for you in the Bible and see them come true, before your eyes, in His wonderful timing. You don't have to wait for a special time to come to the Lord. You can come right now as you pray this prayer, meaning it in your heart and finding your new identity in Christ Jesus.

Make this your prayer. Don’t let the enemy deceive you into thinking you need all the answers before coming to Christ. Let me just assure you though you may not have all the answers right now before coming to Jesus, He will answer them slowly. Yes, He will for I know our Redeemer will! Amen!

Make this your prayer. Don’t let the enemy deceive you into thinking you need all the answers before coming to Christ. Let me just assure you though you may not have all the answers right now before coming to Jesus, He will answer them slowly. Yes, He will for I know our Redeemer will! Amen!

Prayer:
Jesus, I thank you for being the Bread of Life. You are the Living Bread of my life. Thank you for coming from Heaven and giving your life for the life of the world. You sacrificed yourself for humanity. Thank you Lord when we eat of you symbolically making you part of our life, digesting what you teach us by following you, we can be living Eternally, and the fruit that comes will reflect and resemble your life. I want that Father God. I want that Lord Jesus! I want that Holy Spirit! I know of a lot of people who partake of Holy Communion where the bread represents your body broken for their sin and the juice represents your blood shed for their sin. When we partake of Holy Communion, we are reminded that we are remembering you. I want to remember you always Lord Jesus. But for me to remember you always, I need to know you and acknowledge everything you said you are. So right now I acknowledge that you are my Lord and Personal Savior who died and rose again to give me life from sin. So right now, I come to you and say how sorry I am for my sin and living a life on my own. I repent of my sin and ask you to forgive me of my sin with your cleansing blood which I accept. Wash me and I will be clean from this infection of sin. Come Lord Jesus and please become part of my life as you live in me and I will live for you. I thank you Jesus for coming into my heart and making my heart your home. Thank you for living in me Jesus and I will live for you and serve you the rest of the days of my life. I do need your Spirit to reside in me and work in me and through me so I surrender all that I am and will be to you. Whatever your will is for me, please give me the strength and willingness to bear it and rejoice in you. Thank you so much Jesus. I thank you Jesus for becoming my Lord and Personal Savior. I thank you Jesus you have heard my prayer and have answered me. I thank you that I am your child Oh God. I thank you for becoming my only Way to Eternal Life. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend. You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who brings us hope, healing, and help! But beware of churches who do believe in the Word of God completely but there is no freedom in Christ but legalism involved.

As a professional, it is not too late to join a church! As a student, it is not too late to join a fellowship on campus this  new year of 2009! May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and forever! Amen!

 

Friend, if you have prayed this prayer and meant it in your heart, you are a new creation in Christ and all old things are passed away and everything has become new! You may feel something or may not but don’t base it on feelings but base your new life in Christ on the promises of our Savior who will never leave you nor forsake you! Amen!

Spend time in His word and let the Lord speak to you! Start out in the Gospel of John! You can also check out the Gospel of Mark which are the devotionals I have been going through.  Learn from Jesus through study and prayer. Also find yourself a church fellowship and a college fellowship you can be part of where you can be part of a community of believers to supplement your own walk with the Lord. Let it be a Bible-believing and Bible-breathing church! Believe in Bible Live Eternally!

Feel free to email me at reddy4hisglory2004@yahoo.com if you want to meet to study the Bible, pray with, talk about Spiritual issues or whatever is on your mind! My number is 412-720-4579

"This is my work and I can do it only because Christ's mighty energy is at work within me." (Colossians 1:29, TLB)
